Don't let me see things like that. I still have time to change my order at AP Engineering from a 355 to a 383, but my budget would be screaming. Like the TQ on that thing!!!!

Dyno Results are in for Mild Budget 383 as some of you know i installed a budget 383 stroker in my car in september. Basic specs are
-Scat 900 crank, eagle rods, srp forged pistons
-Full Hotcam Kit
-Heads were hottanked, Given 2.0/1.6 valves and a very minor port matching to the intake. These are not ported heads by any means
-Accel 30 lb injectors
Over winter my emmissions notice cam so i had to setup my schedule of having the car dyno tuned at speed inc. So i set up an appointment with then and took it over there last wednesday while i was home for spring break.
I told Bos on the way over that i would be happy with anything over 350 rw and he said it would do closer to 370. Well to my delight bos was right and i was wrong. Final results were 369.1 rwhp and 433 rwtq . I was exstatic. For how mild of a setup this is i wasnt expecting much but that was more than i expected. A problem did creap up with the opti and it misses over 6,000 rpm on the street now, which we never saw before because the stock tune was still in and the rev limit was at 6000. O well a new opti is on the way
Then after the tune it took it to my dads shop, threw it on the lift and installed the cats and ran it over to the emmissions lane where it passed with flying colors.
So all in all i am very happy with the results considering how small a hotcam is expecially with a stroker and how unported the heads are.
Thanks to Mitch at Flp for the headers, and Larry, Jim and Mike at speed inc for the awesome tune.
